Sleep deprivation

[Lilnik]

Im 29 weeks pregnant and really suffering from lack of sleep! Im shattered all day long but as soon as its time for bed im wide awake and suffering really badly with restless leg!

Im not managing to get more than 3/4hrs per night and not able to sleep thro the day as im still working and have a 3 year old!

Surely this cant be doing me any good?!

I'm exactly the same currently 26 weeks, I'm exhausted. I heard restless leg may be a symptom of anaemia so I'm asking for a blood test at my next appointment

I've been like this too for the last few weeks, I get to sleep fine but wake up tossing and turning 😩

Bless you lovelies I'm 38+ 3 and haven't been able to sleep for ages too, takes me ages to get comfy then drop off, then I need to haul my huge self out of bed for a wee, I'm so hot due to all the pillows I need, and really thirsty. And the baby goes mad squirming about 🙁

Think I will actually get more sleep once the baby arrives. Wishful thinking I know as this is my 2nd as my first baby in 2013 didn't sleep for the first 6 months!

Hope you get comfy and rest when you can and I think you do strangely get used to it. Xx

Know how you feel with this. I'm 37+3 and I'm constantly tired but cannot sleep whatever I do! Ended up on sofa last night as only place I managed to settle. It's driving me mad.

Kind of glad to read I'm not alone! I'm 30 weeks and haven't had a decent full night sleep for weeks... I'm telling myself it's my body preparing me 😂
